Manchester United’s manager, Erik ten Hag, remains fervently interested in securing the signature of Barcelona’s Frenkie de Jong. Despite previous failed attempts, Ten Hag’s admiration for De Jong persists, stemming from their successful collaboration at Ajax. The Dutch manager is resolute in his pursuit, aiming to bring De Jong to Old Trafford despite uncertainties surrounding his own future at the club. Barcelona’s stance on De Jong’s potential departure remains uncertain, but if he declines their contract offer, they may consider selling him, with a reported asking price of €100m (£85m).
